is there normally a growth spurt at 2 wks? seems early to me but Anna turned
into the non-stop-super-sucker this week, wanting to bf constantly and being
very cranky at night from 9-12!! She doesn't spit up frequently like my son
did so i figure she's just a hungry gal and isn't getting...

Lately, while feeding, dd (5 months) will start flailing her arms and
popping off the breast. Usually, I just get her back on, and she will
do it repeatedly about 4 or 5 times, then...

her birthweight (10lbs5oz) by the time we were home from the hospital and
put that back on...

This is exactly our experience of what happened after our babies

I salute you. How do you do it??
I think I'll soon be taking your route. The only time my dd is nursing
from me is the middle of the night feedings. Rest of the time she's
not even latching. She just screams outright. It makes me feel like a
failure. but then, I'll accept I'm a failure when I give...

.. . . . Two days in a row!
Before this past Sunday (7/6), I'd nursed a couple of times in the
examination room at the ped, and once in the car, parked in the lot of a
rest-stop McDonald's. So I'd never really nursed "out in the open."
Sunday, DH and I were taking our daily walk with DS. We...

Well, DD and I have hit the 6 month target, after a very rocky start. I
would just like to say thank you to everyone who posts here, as I have read
so much wonderful information that seems unavailable in the books in our
library. I feel quite proud that my little heffalump has gone from 7 lb 1
oz...

My sister-in-law is 32 weeks pregnant with number two and is interested in
breastfeeding. She did not bf her first for all the wrong reasons and now

The problem is that she has very little confidence in her abilities and
doesn't...

My 4.5 month old suddenly started having green stools over a week ago.
Generally, they are dark green in color (the color of overcooked
sprinach), fairly watery and soak into the diaper, but there is still
some solids in it, that are sort of stringy. I haven't noticed...

when are the typical growth spurts?

It sounds like a growth spurt. We just did our 6 week growth spurt
the last few days. Our 3 week growth spurt was like that too. The
one thing I...

My 3 week old seems to be really hungry. When he is not asleep or
screaming 'cos he has wet his nappy he is feeding. Sometimes its 45
minutes on each side, sometimes its a short drink. ...

maybe it's just me, but my milk flows much faster than the bottle,
especially with a let down. it seems like I am trying to drown my DD
sometimes. she gets very frustrated id she has to suck more than once or
twice instead of just swallowing. She's 7 weeks old. I'm hoping this will
taper off...

Hi! I noticed in a previous post that you mentioned you are in
Oklahoma. I am, too, northeastern part. Mind if I e-mail you?
